(which seem to be a little over a grand right now) and hook it up to my laptop.The plan is (this is part of my ultimate gaming room) to have the game board/table be a nice flat white, like a movie screen.  Have the projector mounted on the ceiling pointed down to display the maps at proper size for minis.MY hope is to use the dual moitor feature of my laptop to have one screen (the projector) show the map while the other shows the rest of my info.For the maps I plan to use Adobe Photoshops Layers feature.  As long as you don't have the program window maxiumized you could keep all the controls on the hidden screen, including the layers palet.  PS also has a navigator palet you can use to look at the map/pic with out looking at the table.  The trick would be putting your layers in the right order and having them labled clearly.I also would hope to be able to use pre set images for spell effects.  That way you can show right where that Web or Blade barrier are sitting, or who is in that 60ft cone Mind Blast.If I get really lucky the projector will be good enought to do movies with by just swinging it up to aim at the screen on the far wall.  (this way the money elf doesn't fight me as much on it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> )JDragonAs you can see I have spent way to much time thinking about this.</blockquote>
